Happy National Counselor Appreciation Week! 🎉💙
We are beyond lucky to have an amazing group of counselors who show up every single day for our Dobermans—listening, guiding, problem-solving, and advocating like absolute pros. They juggle schedules, emotions, goals, and about a million moving pieces… and somehow still do it with heart and humor. 🧠❤️
To our counselors: you are the calm in the chaos, the compass when things get messy, and the quiet superheroes of our campus. Our students, staff, and Doberman community are stronger because of you. 🐾💪
Drop a 💙 or a 🙌 below to show our counselors some love this week!
